"Babies" is a song written and released by British indie-pop group Pulp. With a lyric about a boy spying on his friend's sister from a wardrobe, the song features a guitar riff which drummer Nick Banks had played for Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. Poppier and lighter than much of the band's earlier material, the song was released as a single.
"Babies" was first released as a single for Gift Records in 1992, accompanied by a music video directed by Cocker, but failed to chart. The song was included on the band's next album, His 'n' Hers, and was later remixed for the Sisters EP in 1994. This EP peaked at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. The track has since seen critical acclaim and has been named by many writers as among Pulp's best songs.
